| Publisher Description: First published in 1766 and a perennial favorite since then, The Vicar of Wakefield is built around the na ve but lovable figure of Dr. Primrose. He and his family live in rural bliss until disaster threatens to destroy their happiness: abduction, impoverishment, and betrayal combine to lay them low, but a surprising figure brings hope when all seems lost. |
